Star Wars Battlefront 2 may almost be almost be three years old, but the game is still going strong. Yesterday to celebrate the unofficial Star Wars holiday (or possibly official?) May the 4th, EA had the game on sale for just $6. And while it's back up to a price of $16 dollars today, it's still a steal with a ton of content to play and enjoy.

LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga has yet to receive a release date, but the newest trailer (below) does an impeccable job of showcasing the warm, family-friendly fun that comes with LEGO; both the games and the plastic toys themselves. Although the trailer is light on gameplay, the finished product will likely be full of memorable moments to be had as it will encompass the main nine Star Wars films in digital plastic form across PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 when it comes out later in 2020.

The month of October is upon it, full of spooky nights, winding corn mazes, and pumpkin spice everything. For this month’s MMOCO column, we’ll be looking at upcoming updates for TERA, FFXIV, and SWTOR....

A couple weeks ago, EA and DICE dropped a "look ahead" post on the community forums for Star Wars: Battlefront II (2017) that laid out what's in store for the multiplayer shooter for the next few months of the year. The one feature that caught our attention was this: a new 4 player online PvE co-op mode. Rejoice, co-op fans!

As part of Microsoft's E3 2019 conference, they announced LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, a new video game in the LEGO series that will encompass all 9 of the Star Wars movies. This game will likely feature the signature co-op gameplay that the LEGO games have kept with the brand. While there is no release date aside from the ‘Coming 2020’ stated in the trailer, this will be a nice way to experience the thrill of the films after the ninth and final one is released later this year.

Star Wars Battlefront II has had its share of ups and downs since it launched last year, but the steady stream of patches/updates have brought the game to a better point than where it was. If you're interested in checking the game out for yourself, and you have an EA Access subscription, then you can do so for free.

In more great news from Microsoft, 16 original Xbox games are being added to the Xbox One’s Backwards Compatibility list. All of the titles either need to be purchased and downloaded through the Xbox Marketplace or played with a physical copy in the Xbox One. The first batch of 8 games is set to arrive on April 17th and the later 8 on April 26th. While a number of the games feature some sort of multiplayer, it’s the April 26th release of Star Wars Battlefront (2004) andStar Wars Battlefront 2 (2005) that feature the Co-Op we’re most excited about.

Months after its release and the whole loot crate fiasco, EA has announced their plans for revising the progression and loot system for Star Wars: Battlefront II. The good news is that they're removing any kind of gameplay affecting items (such as the Star Cards that impact your class abilities and gear) from the loot crates and making them cosmetic items only. The bad news? None of these changes apply to the co-op Arcade mode.
